Mold/plume ?

How can you tell the diff? Is plume a good thing? I've seen it mentioned along with crystals forming is this just from aging?And should you wipe it off if you get it? Seeing as how I only got a 25 count humidor I doubt I'll get the chance to see it but I'm curious.

yup, plume is whitish , 1st time i saw some i freaked then found out and one of the best smokes ive had, mold dark spots grennish/ blackish ive heard, havent ever ran across any yet but i look at all cigars good before i add to my humis

White mold is more common than any other mold on cigars, in my experience. Plume is also farrrr less common than mold. Most people aren't going to ever see plume in their humidor. Most will see mold at some point.

if you are careful you will not see mold.

on that same note, even if you are careful you may not see plume. if you handle your cigars at all, and most of us do, you will not see plume very often at all.

plum can be good, but it does not mean that it WILL be good. plume is just a sign of an aged cigar. even an aged cigar can suck.

As I understand it, that's kind of a personal call, but I know that many will go for it if the wrapper is the only thing attacked; maybe try your luck wiping it off. If you see it in the foot, however, you'd do best to throw it away.

My opinion is to just chuck it. Something unsettling about smoking a moldy stick.

So are the sticks still smokeable after mold gets on them or do you got to trash em?

Outside mold on the wrapper means you smoke the HELL out of it... You deal with mold all the days of your life, there some in your towel, in your car etc...Agreed if it's IN the cigar foot then you have no idea HOW much mold is there, so just get rid of it

Mold is everywhere. Darn, truth hurts. Back to blissful ignorance I go.
